The Battle of Bosworth story began at Grange Farm (circa 1850). Originally a stone fruit and almond farm, it became home to Peter and Anthea Bosworth in the 1970s.
More than the sum of its parts, 'Heretic' is a super blend of ‘alternative’ varieties, bringing Iberian flavours and savoury goodness to the wine, with a soupcon of that McLaren Vale classic, Shiraz. A wine for all seasons, 'Heretic' has a cherry blossom nose with dark fruits on the soft, savoury palate. It finishes nice and tight and focused and has a lovely gravelly grainy structure and length.

A blend of 42/32/20/6% touriga nacional/mataro/graciano/shiraz. Floral and grapey, with blueberry, wild cherry, violet, rose talc, Earl Grey tea, graphite and lavender, this is a wine of immediate appeal and quiet ease that belies its complexity. Comparisons are inevitably inadequate, but this is a fair identikit portrait of quality gamay – a young Fleurie Beaujolais, perhaps. Persistent, with chalky, quietly nagging skinsy tannins, this is an absolute delight, especially with the gentlest chill.

A little waft of wetsuit, dried rose, cherry, bergamot, thyme and spice, iron filings. It’s medium-bodied, a little ferrous and stony, blue fruit and cherry, orange peel, crisp acidity, with a lively finish of excellent length. Well, the blend here works to excellent effect, and the wine in glass offers charm and a big point of difference to many from the region. I really like it. It’s juicy, drinkably complex, and savoury/saline all at once. Price: $28.00; Drink: 2024-2029; Rated: 93 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
